ANDREA POV
“Urrrgh…….will you let me go,please”i said softly and he released me
I turned to walk off but he was walking beside me too.
Please, just go away, I thought as he kept on walking beside me
” Are you worried about what happened yesterday?” He asked
“What?”I said
“Well don’t think about it anymore, it’s just an impulse from my side, am sorry for being too forward”he said
Just an impulse! Just an impulse to you? That was my first kss, you je.rk! I thought to myself
“It’s okay you don’t have to apologise”I said
“Now that we have talked about it, I hope we won’t be awkward with each other”he said
“We won’t”I replied
“Fine then, see you at class”he said as he walked off.
As soon as he left, I got so sad, that kss had meant something for me but to him it had only been an impulse.
I got to class only to be questioned by the Beatrice about the blind date
“I didn’t go”I replied
“But why?”Brenda asked
“I was busy with something”I said staring at Max
“Well it doesn’t matter, I will help set you up with another guy, you know I have a lot of single male friends”I said
“Why would a girl have a lot of single male friends and not have one for herself, just get one guy for yourself and let Andrea be”Jack said as he walked into class
“Look who’s talking, aren’t you single too and besides I already have someone and it’s a secret”Beatrice said
“Tell us who it is”Brenda and I said together
“It’s a secret and just as I was saying, I will help you with another date okay”she replied
I looked up and saw Max staring at me, he Shaked his head, wanting me to tell her no but instead I looked at Beatrice and told her a yes.
Jack noticed the little thing that just went on between us but he didn’t say or do anything.
“Are you a fool or what ? Why would you accept her invite to go on a blind date” Jack said
“What’s bad in going to a blind date” beatrice asked
“I believe in practicality, would it be so hard to pick a guy from our class or the school itself” Jack asked
“Blind date is more better than choosing a guy from this school”Brenda said
“Why is that? Aren’t the guys of Jupiter high good enough?”Geoffrey asked as he heard our discussion
“No one was asking you, just go away”Beatrice said
“Hey guys listen up, These two girls are saying we the guys of Jupiter high aren’t good for the girls of Jupiter high, what do you have to say about that” Geoffrey said calling up the attention of everyone.
Soon everyone was talking each at a time making the class rowdy.
“Guys let’s just stop it okay, What Beatrice and Brenda was trying to say is that the guys of our school are good for the girls of our school”I said trying to calm the situation
“That’s a lie,they were saying something different”Geoffrey said
“And so what if we were! You all aren’t good for us”Beatrice said and once again the class became rowdy
” Well if you think so Andrea doesn’t, Tell us Andrea If you were to pick a guy in our class, who would you pick ?” Jack suddenly asked, making me the centre of attraction.
“Me? I don’t think my answer is that important” I said
“Yes!it is, these two are making us feel low, your answer will certainly make things right, Tell us who you will pick” Geoffrey said and the other students too urged me to speak
“Common Andrea they are all waiting”Jack said beside me
“Does it really matter if she picks some one,If the girls are saying they can’t ever date the guys of Jupiter high then we can’t date then too, it’s as simple as that”Max said making everyone look at him
“That’s true! Max is right, if you girls can’t date us, we also can’t date you”Geoffrey added as he went to Max while the other students agreed too
I sighed gently, I know that Max interfering was to save me from answering such questions.
“Max never seems to amaze me?”Beatrice said
“Why do you say that!”Brenda asked
“A ring he will be cold and distance and another he will approachable, Am still surprised by the way he dealt with those bullies who were about to take Andrea, he kind of look protective and am sure that if it had been someone else, he wouldn’t have done it” Beatrice said
“Stop making a fuss over him, I was there too and I did some punching bit”Jack said
“But you don’t have enough charisma like Max”Brenda said shutting Jack up
Just then the teacher walked in and class began.

HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 31 – 40
???
“We are at the cafeteria, should we just order ahead of you?” Brenda sent me a text
“Order,I will be there soon”I texted back as I began to head to the cafeteria
“Hurry up, your best side dish is here “She texted again and I smiled
“I will be there soon”I texted, still heading for the cafeteria while my focus was on my phone.
I was still walking off when I collided into someone.
I would have fall if the person hadn’t held me by my waist
I looked up only to see Jack staring at me ,angrily I pushed him away
“Why can’t you watch where you are going “I said
“What? You were the one focused on your phone, you should have watched where you are going “he said
“What ever, why aren’t you at the cafeteria?”I asked
“I came back to look for you, the girls wouldn’t stop pestering me to get you, so I came for you”he said patting my head
“Stop that”I said hitting his hand
“You are like a gentle puppy I always want to protect”
“Find someone else to protect”I said as I hit his hand off
Just then I saw Max some few paces away watching us.
Jack stopped ruffling my hair when he saw that my attention had been taken.
We both stood looking at Max while he looked at us too
“Ahhhh………so annoying,common let’s go Andrea”Jack said as he pulled me off
I looked back to see Max still staring at us.
We were about to get to the cafeteria when Rose came to us
“I want to talk to you Andrea”Rose said
“There goes another one,”Jack said.
“You don’t have to talk to her”he added staring at me
“But I do want to talk to her! “I said
“Andrea have you forgotten what she did ?”He asked
“Just go, I will talk to her myself”I said pushing him away
“I hope you know what you are doing”he said as he went into the cafeteria
“Sorry about that,what do you want to tell me”I asked
“Ever since I asked if I could be your friend,you have been more distant to me”She said
“Really I ……”
“It’s not that am complaining, I mean I just want to be friends with you, to be close to you, why is that so hard to get”She said sadly
“Rose I…….”
“I just wanted to tell you this, I wanted to relive my mind” she said interrupting me again
“I will leave now?”She added as she began to walk off.
“You see I need you to help me get Max close to Rose”
I would have let her go but remembering what Max’s mother had asked of me, I called for her.
“Would you like to join us for lunch”I asked and she nodded gently
With Rose sitted with the rest, I went in search of Max.
The two of them should at least start from somewhere and if we all share lunch together it will certainly bring them close.
I don’t know why I decided to do this but am sure that I will regret it.
I found him at class as usual, he was busy with his some school work
“Hello “I said and he looked up to stare at me then back at his book
“Won’t you go out for lunch?”I asked
“I don’t eat lunch”he said
“That’s why you are so thin,come on, Max let’s go and eat lunch”I said
“I don’t want to”
“What if I tell you that I will do anything you ask of me, Is that a good deal to make with you?”I asked and he stared up at me
“It’s a deal,”he said and I smiled.
“But why do you insist on me going to eat lunch with you today”He asked
“I just don’t like seeing you thin”I replied
“So now you are worried about me?”he asked
“Why won’t I, you are the guy I………….”I stopped when I realised that I was about to tell him that he is the one I love
“The guy that what?”
“Who knows my secret and has also kept it a secret?” I said, giving him a smile.
“You are something”he said as he smiled at me
“Common Max, they are still waiting for us and am sure that they are hungry”I said as I pulled him by his hand
“How can you grab my hand like that! No one is allowed to do that”He said
“But I am allowed to, after all I am more close to you than anyone else”I said as I pulled him to the cafeteria.
There was Beatrice and Brenda sitting with Jack beside Rose.
If Max seats beside Rose they will certainly hit it off, I thought.
